Based on your initial post I STILL strongly suggest you go see a vet NOW, and not the 2 you called, makes absolutely no sense. Next time your baby is in distress, please don't stop here first go to the vet....QUICKLY.

If my Dog ever experienced those symptoms as you explained, he would be at the Vet- Comet or not. If I called my Vet’s office and explained to them what happened and they told me not to come, to wait I would be looking for another Vet. All Vet’s should have their patients health as top priority- emergency or not.

God forbid- what would happen if your dog experiences those symptoms again and you’re not there to help open his mouth and get through it??? Please make an appointment at a different Vet’s office to see what is going on with him. For whatever reason that is not normal.

Comet or not - it makes no difference. These symptoms are not normal.

Vet NOW.

Clearly you aren't going to go, but for anybody else in this situation go to the vet! This dog IS in danger.

How much more distress to you want to see before taking him in so a vet can examine him instead of just discussing it on the phone?

What you said in your first post clearly is distress: "This morning (29th) (my day off) I was sleeping in and I hear him gagging like he was vomiting but worse. I immediately jumped out of bed and found him turning and falling having a hard time to breath and he couldn’t get up he seemed like he couldn’t control his head. Like maybe he was having a seizer (?) it was a horrible moment. I picked him up and from his nose there was a yellow foam coming out and he couldn’t breath I forced his mouth open and he was able to catch his breath but foam was still coming from his nose and mouth and he was still gagging. This went on for what seemed to be hours."

You are contradicting your first post in this thread. You go to the vet for any little thing, but not these things?:

I quickly rinsed his face and head and removed all the cleanser. He seemed t be acting normal. Yesterday the 28th he started have a reverse sneeze, which he sometimes gets if he gets to excited or drinks water to fast. But this time it lasted super long. at least 10 min. I wasn’t with him before he got the revers sneeze so I thought he drank water and he inhaled it. After that he was his normal self. Playing, running, eating and drinking water. Close to 9pm we went on a walk and he was fine. After the walk when we got home he got another reverse sneeze. It was a quick one though. He then was his normal self again. but around 12midnight he was slowly turning in circles and gagging like he wanted to throw up. That lasted a couple of minutes. then he seemed fine and he went to sleep. This morning (29th) (my day off) I was sleeping in and I hear him gagging like he was vomiting but worse. I immediately jumped out of bed and found him turning and falling having a hard time to breath and he couldn’t get up he seemed like he couldn’t control his head. Like maybe he was having a seizer (?) it was a horrible moment. I picked him up and from his nose there was a yellow foam coming out and he couldn’t breath I forced his mouth open and he was able to catch his breath but foam was still coming from his nose and mouth and he was still gagging. This went on for what seemed to be hours. But it probably was a few long min. he seems ok after he was able to breath.



Could this be happing do to the comet cleanser 2 days ago? I know for sure it dropped on his head, but he probably inhaled it to. I’m very worried as he is so tiny 2.5lb 3y/o. Please help as what I should do. I was thinking to take him to the vet but he is a little aggrieve and gets super agitated whenever people get near him I don’t want him to get worse. Thanks so much

These frightening symptoms may have nothing to do with Comet (although, I doubt a vet tech would say that your dog would have to inhale a lot to cause any problems. If you tried inhaling a pinch of Comet yourself you would see what I mean.)

This really is a sad story.

Just going to be scared to even open this thread for the next couple of days, and even worse if updates are stopped.

After re reading this thread, I think this MUST be one of thse deals where stuff is thrown out there just to watch all of us go into frantic tail spins, while they sit back and laugh gleefully. The OP said she takes her pup to the vet for "any little thing".....so I am confident she would not watch her pup unable to walk well, fall over, have a possible seizure, cant breathe, have a fulminating production of yellow foam pouring from his lungs, to the point he can not breathe.....and decide THIS is just not bad enough to go to a vet. She calmly says she is LOOKING for help from us, then she decides to act on all the same advice, by ignoring us.....she is pulling our chain! I am outta here!

I know I said I was outta here, but I found this post interesting. Look at the last line.

I have a question for Yorkie owners. I have 3 Yorkie's
(ages 14, 3, & 2). two are spayed/neutered, one is not, (she has high liver and can not be put under anesthesia).
Anyways my question is. I want to start breeding Yorkie's.
I want to know how can I find a male and female dog that are in good health, have good blood lines and registration, that are clean in genetic conditions, and that are not more then 4 1/2 lb each?
Is it better to get adults or puppies? Is it better to get only a female and find a stud? I know the female has to be 2 years and needs to go to the vet to do test, but what age does the male need to be, to be able to breed?
As you see I have lots of questions, and I want to be well informed of every thing before I get the potential parent Yorkie's .
Please help me find answers to my questions. Thank you all so much in advance.

Also if it helps I am studding to be a vet tech and pet groomer, I also do volunteer work at a vets office. Thanks again.

I'm having flashbacks to a young member who posted in similar fashion.

I do not believe you. You either are not telling the truth with the symptoms he is having or you did not call another vet and or you didn't explain the symptoms to the vet. I feel so bad for your dog right now. I think not getting medical care for a dog that is obviously showing signs of being poisoned from the chemical should be animal abuse!

[chachi]

These symptoms warrant a vet visit comet or not. Why are you calling vets anyway this is an emergency you should just be taking him to a vet. Vet techs and receptionists cant deciper betwseen emergency non emergency over the phone. Your the one that saw the symptoms it is up to you to get him the care he needs

[Bellabean]

Hmmmmm......

[ColesMommy01]

Personally I would take him to a vet. Even if he hadn't of come in contact with comet none of those symptoms are normal or should be brushed off. What if he has an issue that want due to the cleaner but the comet just aggravated it?
